Two completely different core pieces. But whatever you say…
The Celtics are superior to the Wolves who have taken two games off the Nuggets.
Wolves split with Celtics in RS. I just don’t see it.
Your core is Tatum and Brown.
Regular season is irrelevant. Wolves looked like the better team than Denver in the regular season during all of their matchups.
Celtics are being disrespected. They were historically good, and if OKC, Mavs, OR Minnesota came out of the West, Celtics win handily. We've seen Minnesota struggle against a more competent defense now.
Boston has the #2 defense in the NBA. Minnesota will struggle. Boston has 4 different guys who they can throw at Ant.
Boston wins in 5, or 6. Stop disrespecting them just because they're Boston.
They lose to Denver in the finals in 6 though. Timberwolves blew the Celtic's chances this year.
You want it both ways.
“RS doesn’t matter. Boston was historically good.”
Make up your mind.
If this Boston core wins a chip, THEN you can start the chip guarantees. Not before.
You can’t guarantee something you’ve never done.
